—Slice through hordes of mutated monsters as you wander the vast post-apocalyptic wastelands. Follow the trail of mysterious obelisks and craft upgrades from scrap metal to unlock your hidden functions. Experience deadly exploration and dynamic combat in a stylized open world!
Neon Cyber Desert
SteamHumans have become extinct, and only robots and monsters roam through what remains of past civilization. Fueled by a mysterious substance in the sand all creatures, mechanical or organic, fight for survival in the vast desert wasteland. As you reboot in the middle of the desert, your race for survival begins. Your memory backup is inaccessible and your energy level is depleting rapidly. Every creature in the desert is hostile. Are the obelisks gonna give the answer to what happened to you and the world?

Killing enemies will release some of their energy and it will recover your energy level. All enemies have their own attack patterns and group behavior. Face monsters that surround you, others that jump attack and scatter, and loners that will tear you apart.
The desert is harsh! Research forgotten knowledge and build upgrades from scrap metal to improve your robot and its equipment. You choose yourself if you want to prioritize offense or defense, or research to craft other equipment.

Once unlocked you can speed up travel across the desert and jump over the ruins. Ram enemies for extra damage!
In the vast desert you can still find a variety of different regions. Venturing into these areas are bound to turn up interesting discoveries, and you might even uncover the secret of the obelisks!
